Colorectal cancer in young people
Regular screening for colorectal cancer begins at age 45, but that might not be early enough. Colorectal cancer is now the leading cause of cancer death in men under 50 and the second leading cause of cancer death in women under 50. We talk to a colorectal cancer specialist about why doctors have been seeing colorectal cancer in younger patients and how to know if you might be at risk.
